A Refreshing New Adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol at Victory Gardens Theater

A classic tale of redemption is brought to life onstage in an adaptation of Dickens' well-loved A Christmas Carol that's truer to the spirit of his original novel than the A Christmas Carol productions most have become used to seeing on film or television. With less of the Hallmark-greeting-card sentimentality and a greater dose of passion, conflict, and heart, this is a refreshing take on a story of human transformation.

Venue Details

The Greenouse Theatre Center has a nice selection of local adult beverages, sodas, & snacks available. We opted for a post-show dinner at one of the restaurants suggested on the Greenhouse website: Trattoria Gianni. Nice ambiance, good service, wonderful food, reasonable prices.

Reviews & Ratings

Truly mesmerizing! My companions and I were impressed by the caliber of the production, The Christmas Carol. We laughed out loud, tapped our toes to the music, and were drawn in by Scrooge's emotions. This was the first time attending a production at the Victory Garden Theatre, and we left the theatre making plans to attend again.

Description

For those who think Charles Dickens wrote_ A Christmas Carol _to create a sentimental-Hallmark-greeting-card experience, think again! When Provision Theater’s Artistic Director Tim Gregory and multiple-Jeff-Award-winning director/writer David Bell actually readA Christmas Carol they realized that they, too, had been led astray over the years by the over-simplification and over-commercialization of this great work. At its core, Dickens’ classic is a story of deep human transformation—and the great hope that such transformation is possible, even for the Scrooge-iest of us. This Jefferson Award Nominated adaptation, written by Gregory and Bell, is one of the truest to the original theme you’ll ever see.

Brad Armancost returns this year as the miserly Scrooge, reviving his Jeff-nominated performance as Best Actor, along with a stellar cast of actors, singers and dancers to bring you this moving version of a must-see Christmas classic.
